Another reason why I fucking hate Verizon, that they never get any grand phones.

To be fair, we had the Droid (which I dare say is responsible for Android's current success, with the S2 being facilitated by the Droid bringing the first truly great Android phone to the public), and then the Galaxy Nexus.

Yeah, I basically download a bunch of 3D games (more recently Gameloft's N.O.V.A. 3 which was 2GB to download, plus all of those failed attempts where the stupid downloader they use restarts the download often and I end up loosing like 100MB each time, so it was probably around 5GB in total just for NOVA3), and YouTube videos (more recently all of E3 livestreams, re-caps and reviews, VGHS, FilmRiot, etc.). Yup, a shitload of data monthly. And most of it is off libraries, coffee shops and schools.

I feel like a sir.

That guy claimed it was 70GB on mobile though, and only on facebook no apps downloading and shit.

Hey guys, the soft buttons on my SGSII (menu and back) isn't lighting up. It only lights up when I adjust the brightness of my phone, but after the screen turns off, the soft buttons stop lighting up after the screen turns back on. The buttons are still functional, but just not lighting up.

If you're on stock, i think there's an option that sets the timeout period for them? Might be set to 0..

Fucking shit.. I somehow managed to corrupt my phone internal sd card (Galaxy S) and had to reformat it. I thought everything was fine, but then I remembered I had my gba saves there :|
So 30 hours of work in Pokemon Emerald = gone. Just fucking great.

My experiences with flash memory on phones have never been good. Corruptions left, right and center

I've just ordered a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, to upgrade from my Nokia 3310. Did I take the right phone or are there better models in the same price range?

There's the HTC One S/X and the GS3 but the Galaxy Nexus is a very solid phone specially because you get the pure android experience and instant software upgrades from Google, so in my opinion, yeah it's the best you can get

I'm actually surprised Google lets you get it for so cheap in the US. $400 for an unlocked device without a contract? Especially one that is still pretty high end.

Kinda wish I went with a prepaid SIM and that instead of Verizon's version ($300 WITH a contract). Oh well. I have no idea how good GSM coverage is here. Probably a bit better since T-Mobile and AT&T arrived.

I was sick of having a super crappy flip-phone type thing for the past few years, so I went out and bought a Galaxy Proclaim. Yeah, it's pre-paid and a tracphone, but it's a huge step up from what I had before.

The plan I have is $45 a month, and has 3G up to 2 GB of data, apparently throttled to 256kb/s or something similar after. Hope I don't use that much, though I can definitely see it with the music I plan on streaming.
